Gapless Piston Rings
What do you guys think about this one?
Does seem pretty nice. Would the thinner part of the rings, where the cap used to be, be strong enought for a high boost turbo application?

I run them in my stock block with over 10k miles now...no issues. Great rings. I've had nothing but positive experiences in chevy small block applications as well.

I haven’t used them in Alusil – I do most of my building with sleeved motors. The rings are fairly soft so I would think they would work well in Alusil.
